Abstract :We give a number of new examples of timelike minimal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski space. Our method consists of solving the Björling problem by prescribing a circle or a helix as the core curve $\alpha$ and rotating with constant angular speed the unit normal vector field in the normal plane to $\alpha$. As particular cases, we exhibit new examples of timelike minimal surfaces invariant by a uniparametric group of helicoidal motions.Keywords : Timelike minimal surface, Björling problem, circle, helix
